QUINOLINE DERIVATIVES AS ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS
The present invention relates to the use of quinoline derivatives for the
manufacture of
a medicament for the treatment of a bacterial infection.
Resistance to first-line antibiotic agents is an emerging problem. Some
important
examples include penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, vancomycin-
resistant
enterococci, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multi-resistant
salmonellae.
The consequences of resistance to antibiotic agents are severe. Infections
caused by
resistant microbes fail to respond to treatment, resulting in prolonged
illness and greater
risk of death. Treatment failures also lead to longer periods of infectivity,
which
increase the numbers of infected people moving in the community and thus
exposing
the general population to the risk of contracting a resistant strain
infection.
Hospitals are a critical component of the antimicrobial resistance problem
worldwide.
The combination of highly susceptible patients, intensive and prolonged
antimicrobial
use, and cross-infection has resulted in infections with highly resistant
bacterial
pathogens.
Self-medication with antimicrobials is another major factor contributing to
resistance.
Self-medicated antimicrobials may be unnecessary, are often inadequately
dosed, or
may not contain adequate amounts of active drug.
Patient compliance with recommended treatment is another major problem.
Patients
forget to take medication, interrupt their treatment when they begin to feel
better, or
may be unable to afford a full course, thereby creating an ideal environment
for
microbes to adapt rather than be killed.
Because of the emerging resistance to multiple antibiotics, physicians are
confronted
with infections for which there is no effective therapy. The morbidity,
mortality, and
financial costs of such infections impose an increasing burden for health care
systems
worldwide.
Therefore, there is a high need for new compounds to treat bacterial
infections,
especially for the treatment of infections caused by resistant strains.

t.butyl hydro-peroxide. Suitable solvents are, for example, water, lower
alcohols, e.g.
ethanol and the like, hydrocarbons, e.g. toluene, ketones, e.g. 2-butanone,
halogenated
hydrocarbons, e.g. dichloromethane, and mixtures of such solvents.
It will be appreciated that some of the compounds of formula (I) and their N-
oxides or
addition salts may contain one or more centres of chirality and exist as
stereochemically isomeric forms.
The term "stereochemically isomeric forms" as used hereinbefore or hereinafter
defines
all the possible stereoisomeric forms which the compounds of formula (I), and
their
N-oxides, addition salts or physiologically functional derivatives may
possess. Unless
otherwise mentioned or indicated, the chemical designation of compounds
denotes the
mixture of all possible stereochemically isomeric forms, said mixtures
containing all
diastereomers and enantiomers of the basic molecular structure.
In particular, stereogenic centers may have the R- or S-configuration;
substituents on
bivalent cyclic (partially) saturated radicals may have either the cis- or
trans-
configuration. Compounds encompassing double bonds can have an E (entgegen) or
Z
(zusammen) -stereochemistry at said double bond.
Stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) are obviously
intended to be embraced within the scope of this invention.
Following CAS-nomenclature conventions, when two stereogenic centers of known
absolute configuration are present in a molecule, an R or S descriptor is
assigned (based
on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rule) to the lowest-numbered chiral center, the

reference center. The configuration of the second stereogenic center is
indicated using
relative descriptors [R*,R* ] or [R*,S*], where R* is always specified as the
reference
center and [R*,R*] indicates centers with the same chirality and [R*,S*]
indicates
centers of unlike chirality. For example, if the lowest-numbered chiral center
in the
molecule has an S configuration and the second center is R, the stereo
descriptor would
be specified as S-[R*,S*]. If "a" and '73" are used : the position of the
highest priority
substituent on the asymmetric carbon atom in the ring system having the lowest
ring
number, is arbitrarily always in the "a" position of the mean plane determined
by the
ring system. The position of the highest priority substituent on the other
asymmetric

CA 02528849 2012-04-25
-7
carbon atom in the ring system relative to the position of the highest
priority substituent
on the reference atom is denominated "a", if it is on the same side of the
mean plane
determined by the ring system, or "f3", if it is on the other side of the mean
plane
determined by the ring system.
The terms "erythro" and "threo" can also be used as relative stereochemical
descriptors.
When a molecule bears two asymmetric carbons, 4 stereoisomers of the molecule
exist.
These isomers can be grouped in two couples of two enantiomers. A difference
between these two couples can be made using the notation erythro and threo
(initially
used for Sugar). The two asymmetric carbon atoms on the lateral chain of the
present
compounds, indicated by * in the structure below, are determinant for the
stereochemistry of the molecules. The relative configuration of the molecules
is
indicated as erythro if the groups, after being classified according to
priority rules
(rules of Cahn, Ingold, Prelog), scroll in the same direction when observed in
Newman
projection. The relative configuration of the molecules is indicated as threo
if the
groups, after being classified according to priority rules (rules of Cahn,
Ingold, Prelog),
scroll in the opposite direction when observed in Newman projection.

Instead of erythro and threo, the terms "syn" and "anti" can also be used as
relative - =
stereodescriptors for the two couples of two enantiomers. To determine whether
a
molecule is syn or anti, the main chain of the molecule is drawn in the common
zigzag
manner. If the two main substituents (substituents are ranked according to
their priority
(Cahn Ingold Prelog rules)) are on the same side of the plane defined by the
main
chain, the stereochemistry is indicated as syn. If the two main substituents
are on the
opposite side of the plane defined by the main chain, the stereochemistry is
indicated as
anti.
The stereodescriptors cis, trans, E, Z, R, S, erythro, threo, syn, anti are
well known to a
person skilled in the art. Reference is also made to J.Am.Chem.Soc., 1982,
104, 5521-
5523.

When a specific stereoisomeric form is indicated, this means that said form is

substantially free, i.e. associated with less than 50 %, preferably less than
20 %, more
preferably less than 10 %, even more preferably less than 5 %, further
preferably less
than 2 % and most preferably less than 1 % of the other isomer(s). Thus, when
a
compound of formula (I) is for instance specified as (ocS, 13R), this means
that the
compound is substantially free of the (ca, ps) isomer.
The compounds of formula (I) may be synthesized in the form of racemic
mixtures of
enantiomers which can be separated from one another following art-known
resolution
procedures. The racemic compounds of formula (I) may be converted into the
corresponding diastereomeric salt forms by reaction with a suitable chiral
acid. Said
diastereomeric salt forms are subsequently separated, for example, by
selective or
fractional crystallization and the enantiomers are liberated therefrom by
alkali. An
alternative manner of separating the enantiomeric forms of the compounds of
formula
(I) involves liquid chromatography using a chiral stationary phase. Said pure
stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding
pure
stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials,
provided that the
reaction occurs stereospecifically. Preferably if a specific stereoisomer is
desired, said
compound will be synthesized by stereospecific methods of preparation. These
methods will advantageously employ enantiomerically pure starting materials.
The invention also comprises derivative compounds (usually called "pro-drugs")
of the
pharmacologically-active compounds according to the invention, which are
degraded in
vivo to yield the compounds according to the invention. Pro-drugs are usually
(but not
Pro-drug forms of the pharmacologically-active compounds according to the
invention

Compounds according to the invention having an amino group may be derivatised
with
a ketone or an aldehyde such as formaldehyde to form a Mannich base. This base
will
hydrolyze with first order kinetics in aqueous solution.
Whenever used herein, the term "compounds of formula (I)" is meant to also
include
their N-oxide forms, their addition salts or their stereochemically isomeric
forms. Of
special interest are those compounds of formula (I) which are stereochemically
pure.

In general, bacterial pathogens may be classified as either gram-positive or
gram-
negative pathogens. Antibiotic compounds with activity against both gram-
positive
and gram-negative pathogens are generally regarded as having a broad spectrum
of
activity. The compounds of the present invention are regarded as active
against gram-
positive and/or gram-negative bacterial pathogens. In particular, the present
compounds are active against at least one gram-positive bacterium, preferably
against
several gram-positive bacteria, more preferably against one or more gram-
positive
bacteria and/or one or more gram-negative bacteria.
The present compounds have bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity.

CA 02528849 2005-12-06

Examples of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria,
include
Staphylococci, for example S. aureus; Enterococci, for example E. faecalis;
Streptococci, for example S. pneumoniae, S. mutans, S. pyogens; Bacilli, for
example
Bacillus subtilis; Listeria, for example Listeria monocytogenes; Haemophilus,
for
example H. influenza; Moraxella, for example M. catarrhalis; Pseudomonas, for
example Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and Escherichia, for example E. coli.
Gram-positive pathogens, for example Staphylococci, Enterococci and
Streptococci are
particularly important because of the development of resistant strains which
are both
difficult to treat and difficult to eradicate from for example a hospital
environment once
established. Examples of such strains are methicillin resistant Staphylococcus
aureus
(MRSA), methicillin resistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCNS),
penicillin
resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and multiple resistant Enterococcus
faecium.
The compounds of the present invention also show activity against resistant
bacterial
strains.
The compounds of the present invention are especially active against
Staphylococcus
aureus, including resistant Staphylococcus aureus such as for example
methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
In particular, the compounds of the present invention are active on those
bacteria of
which the viability depends on proper functioning of FIFO ATP synthase.
Without
being bound to any theory, it is taught that the activity of the present
compounds lies in
inhibition of the FIFO ATP synthase, in particular the inhibition of the FO
complex of
the FIFO ATP synthase, more in particular the inhibition of subunit c of the
FO
complex of the FIFO ATP synthase, leading to killing of the bacteria by
depletion of
the cellular ATP levels of the bacteria.
Whenever used hereinbefore or hereinafter, that the compounds can treat a
bacterial

the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight, gender, diet,
time of
administration and general physical condition of the particular patient, the
mode of
administration as well as other medication the individual may be taking, as is
well
known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, it is evident that the
effective daily
amount may be lowered or increased depending on the response of the treated
subject
and/or depending on the evaluation of the physician prescribing the compounds
of the
instant invention.
The compound of the present invention may be administered in a
pharmaceutically
acceptable form optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The
compounds
and compositions comprising the compounds can be administered by routes such
as
topically, locally or systemically. Systemic application includes any method
of
introducing the compound into the tissues of the body, e.g., intrathecal,
epidural,
intramuscular, transdermal, intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous,
sublingual,
rectal, and oral administration. The specific dosage of antibacterial to be
administered,
as well as the duration of treatment, may be adjusted as needed.
Bacterial infections which may be treated by the present compounds include,
for
example, central nervous system infections, external ear infections,
infections of the
middle ear, such as acute otitis media, infections of the cranial sinuses, eye
infections,
infections of the oral cavity, such as infections of the teeth, gums and
mucosa, upper
respiratory tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections,
genitourinary infections,
gastrointestinal infections, gynecological infections, septicemia, bone and
joint
infections, skin and skin structure infections, bacterial endocarditis, burns,
antibacterial
prophylaxis of surgery, and antibacterial prophylaxis in immunosuppressed
patients,
such as patients receiving cancer chemotherapy, or organ transplant patients.
Given the fact that the compounds of formula (I) are active against gram-
positive
and/or gram-negative bacteria, the present compounds may be combined with
other
antibacterial agents in order to effectively combat bacterial infections.
Therefore, the present invention also relates to a combination of (a) a
compound of
formula (I), and (b) one or more other antibacterial agents provided that the
one or
more other antibacterial agents are other than antimycobacterial agents.

CA 02528849 2005-12-06

The present invention also relates to a combination of (a) a compound of
formula (I),
and (b) one or more other antibacterial agents provided that the one or more
other
antibacterial agents are other than antimycobacterial agents, for use as a
medicine.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier
and,
as active ingredient, a therapeutically effective amount of (a) a compound of
formula
(I), and (b) one or more other antibacterial agents provided that the one or
more other
antibacterial agents are other than antimycobacterial agents, is also
comprised by the
present invention.
The present invention also relates to the use of a combination or
pharmaceutical
composition as defined above for the treatment of a bacterial infection, in
particular a'
bacterial infection other than a Mycobacterial infection.
The present pharmaceutical composition may have various pharmaceutical forms
for
administration purposes. As appropriate compositions there may be cited all
compositions usually employed for systemically administering drugs. To prepare
the
pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the
particular
compounds, optionally in addition salt form, as the active ingredient is
combined in
intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier
may take a
wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for
administration.
These pharmaceutical compositions are desirable in unitary dosage form
suitable, in
particular, for administration orally or by parenteral injection. For example,
in
preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual
pharmaceutical media
may be employed such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the
like in the
case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs,
emulsions and
solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, diluents,
lubricants, binders,
disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and
tablets.
Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the
most
advantageous oral unit dosage forms in which case solid pharmaceutical
carriers are
obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually
comprise
sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example,
to aid
solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be
prepared in
which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of
saline and
glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case
appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed.
Also

CA 02528849 2005-12-06
=
-21
included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted,
shortly before
use, to liquid form preparations.
Depending on the mode of administration, the pharmaceutical composition will
preferably comprise from 0.05 to 99 % by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to
70 % by
weight of the active ingredients, and, from 1 to 99.95 % by weight, more
preferably
from 30 to 99.9 weight % of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, all
percentages
being based on the total composition.
The weight to weight ratio's of the compound of formula (I) and (b) the other
antibacterial agent(s) when given as a combination may be determined by the
person
skilled in the art. Said ratio and the exact dosage and frequency of
administration
depends on the particular compound of formula (I) and the other antibacterial
agent(s)
used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition
being treated,
the age, weight, gender, diet, time of administration and general physical
condition of
the particular patient, the mode of administration as well as other medication
the
individual may be taking, as is well known to those skilled in the art.
Furthermore, it is
evident that the effective daily amount may be lowered or increased depending
on the
response of the treated subject and/or depending on the evaluation of the
physician
prescribing the compounds of the instant invention.
The compounds of formula (I) and the one or more other antibacterial agents
may be
combined in a single preparation or they may be formulated in separate
preparations so
that they can be administered simultaneously, separately or sequentially.
Thus, the
present invention also relates to a product containing (a) a compound of
formula (I),
and (b) one or more other antibacterial agents provided that the one or more
other
antibacterial agents are other than antimycobacterial agents, as a combined
preparation
for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment of a bacterial
infection.
The pharmaceutical composition may additionally contain various other
ingredients
known in the art, for example, a lubricant, stabilising agent, buffering
agent,
emulsifying agent, viscosity-regulating agent, surfactant, preservative,
flavouring or
colorant.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical
compositions in unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of
dosage.
Unit dosage form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suitable
as unitary

CA 02528849 2005-12-06
-22
dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient
calculated
to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required
pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such unit dosage forms are tablets
(including
scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers,
suppositories,
injectable solutions or suspensions and the like, and segregated multiples
thereof.
The daily dosage of the compound according to the invention will, of course,
vary with
the compound employed, the mode of administration, the treatment desired and
the
bacterial disease indicated.
The other antibacterial agents which may be combined with the compounds of
formula
(I) are antibacterial agents known in the art. The other antibacterial agents

Tables 1 to 4 list compounds of formula (I) according to the present
invention.
Of some compounds the absolute stereochemical configuration of the stereogenic

carbon atom(s) therein was not experimentally determined. In those cases the
stereochemically isomeric form which was first isolated is designated as "A"
and the
second as "B", without further reference to the actual stereochemical
configuration.
However, said "A" and "B" isomeric forms can be unambiguously characterized by
a
person skilled in the art, using art-known methods such as, for example, X-ray

diffraction.
In case "A" and "B" are stereoisomeric mixtures, they can be further separated

whereby the respective first fractions isolated are designated "Al"
respectively "B 1"
and the second as "A2" respectively "B2", without further reference to the
actual
stereochemical configuration. However, said "Al, A2" and "Bl, B2" isomeric
forms
can be unambiguously characterized by a person skilled in the art, using art-
known
methods such as, for example, X-ray diffraction.
Whenever hereinabove or hereinafter, a compound is designated as "A" or "B"
this
means that the compound is a mixture of two enantiomers. Whenever hereinabove
or

CA 02528849 2012-04-25
-24
hereinafter, a compound is designated as "Al", "A2", "B 1" or "B2" this means
that the
compound is an enantiomer.
The relative configuration of the present compounds indicated by erythro and
threo was
determined by
-NMR, performed on a Bruker Avarice 400 MHz (samples were dissolved in CDC13),

by comparing the chemical shifts of a maximum of protons between the different

stereoisomers or by 2D NOESY;
-LCMS performed on a Applied Biosystems API100 Single quadrupole Mass
Spectrometer. Samples were dissolved in a mixture of acetonitrile/methanol and
injected in Flow Injection Analysis mode and analysed in positive electrospray
using a
40V declustering potential. The designation of erythro/threo was based on the
[MH-0
ion peak corresponding to the loss of methanol (resulting from the
fragmentation in the
elctrospray source). When the ion is produced, it is bigger on spectrum of
threo than
on spectrum of erythro compound.

Analytical methods
The mass of some compounds was recorded with LCMS (liquid chromatography mass
spectrometry). The method used is described below. The data are gathered in
Table 5
below.
LCMS-method
LCMS analysis was carried out (electrospray ionization in positive mode,
scanning
mode from 100 to 900 amu) on a Kromasil C18 column (Interchim, Monducon, FR; 5
p.m, 4.6 x 150 mm) with a flow rate of 1 ml/minute. Two mobile phases (mobile
phase
A: 30 % 6.5mM ammonium acetate + 40 % acetonitrile + 30 % formic acid (2m1/1);

mobile phase B: 100 % acetonitrile) were employed to run a gradient condition
from
100 % A for 1 minute to 100 % B in 4 minutes, 100 % B for 5 minutes to 100 % A
in 3
minutes, and reequilibrate with 100 % A for 2 minutes.

Pharmacological examples
Preparation of bacterial suspensions for susceptibility testing:
The bacteria used in this study were grown overnight in flasks containing 100
ml
Mueller-Hinton Broth (Becton Dickinson - cat. no. 275730) in sterile de-
ionized water,
with shaking, at 37 C. Stocks (0.5 ml/tube) were stored at ¨70 C until use.
Bacteria
titrations were performed in microtiter plates to detect the TODD, in which
the
TOD50 represents the dilution that gives rise to bacterial growth in 50 % of
inoculated cultures.
In general, an inoculum level of approximately 100 TCID50 was used for
susceptibility
testing.
Anti bacterial Susceptibility testing: IC90 determination
Microtitre plate assay
Flat-bottom, sterile 96-well plastic microtiter plates were filled with 180 I
of sterile
deionized water, supplemented with 0.25 % BSA. Subsequently, stock solutions
(7.8 x

final test concentration) of compounds were added in 45 Al volumes in column
2. Serial
five-fold dilutions (45 1 in 180 1) were made directly in the microtiter
plates from
column 2 to reach column 11. Untreated control samples with (column 1) and
without
(column 12) inoculum were included in each microtiter plate. Depending on the
bacteria type, approximately 10 to 60 CFU per well of bacteria inoculum (100
TCID50), in a volume of 100 1 in 2.8x Mueller-Hinton broth medium, was added
to
the rows A to H, except column 12. The same volume of broth medium without
inoculum was added to column 12 in row A to H. The cultures were incubated at
37 C
for 24 hours under a normal atmosphere (incubator with open air valve and
continuous
ventilation). At the end of incubation, one day after inoculation, the
bacterial growth
was quantitated fluorometrically. Therefore resazurin (0.6 mg/ml) was added in
a
volume of 20 1 to all wells 3 hours after inoculation, and the plates were re-
incubated
overnight. A change in colour from blue to pink indicated the growth of
bacteria.
The fluorescence was read in a computer-controlled fluorometer (Cytofluor
Biosearch) at an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and an emission wavelength of
590
nm. The % growth inhibition achieved by the compounds was calculated according
to
standard methods. The IC90 (expressed in g/ml) was defined as the 90 %
inhibitory
concentration for bacterial growth. The results are shown in Table 6.
Agar dilution method.
MIC99 values (the minimal concentration for obtaining 99 % inhibition of
bacterial
growth) can be determined by performing the standard Agar dilution method
according
to NCCLS standards* wherein the media used includes Mueller-Hinton agar.

bacteria that grows Aerobically: approved standard -sixth edition
Time kill assays
Bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity of the compounds may be determined in
a time
kill assay using the broth microdilution method *. In a time kill assay on
Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), the starting
inoculum of S. aurues and MRSA is 106 CFU / ml in Muller Hinton broth. The
antibacterial compounds are used at the concentration of 0.1 to 10 times the
MIC (i.e.
IC90 as determined in microtitre plate assay). Wells receiving no
antibacterial agent
constitute the culture growth control. The plates containing the microorganism
and the
test compounds are incubated at 37 c. After 0, 4, 24, and 48 hrs of
incubation samples
are removed for determination of viable counts by serial dilution (104 to 10-
6) in sterile
PBS and plating (200 I) on Mueller Hinton agar. The plates are incubated at
37 C for

CA 02528849 2005-12-06
-36
24 hrs and the number of colonies are determined. Killing curves can be
constructed by
plotting the logi0CFU per ml versus time. A bactericidal effect is commonly
defined as
3-log10 decrease in number of CFU per ml as compared to untreated inoculum.
The
potential carryover effect of the drugs is removed by serial dilutions and
counting the
colonies at highest dilution used for plating.

oxazolidinone antibacterial
agents. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 40, 839-845 (1996).
Determination of cellular ATP levels
In order to analyse the change in the total cellular ATP concentration ( using
ATP
bioluminescence Kit, Roche), assays are carried out by growing a culture of S.
aureus
(ATCC29213) stock in 100 ml Mueller Hinton flasks and incubate in a shaker-
incubator for 24 hrs at 37 C (300 rpm). Measure 0D405 nm and calculate the
CPU/mi.
Dilute the cultures to 1 x 106 CPU/ml (final concentration for ATP
measurement: 1 x
105 CFU/100 Al per well) and add test compound at 0.1 to 10 times the MIC
(i.e. IC90
as determined in microtitre plate assay). Incubate these tubes for 0, 30 and
60 minutes
at 300 rpm and 37 C. Use 0.6 ml bacterial suspension from the snap-cap tubes
and add
to a new 2 ml eppendorf tubes. Add 0.6 ml cell lysis reagent ( Roche kit),
vortex at
max speed and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cool on ice. Let the
luminometer warm up to 30 C (Luminoskan Ascent Labsystems with injector). Fill
one
column (= 6 wells) with 100 1 of the same sample. Add 100 Al Luciferase
reagent to
each well by using the injector system. Measure the luminescence for 1 sec.
